Year of the Huntard

“It’s the Circle of the Huntard
And it wipes us all
Through pet pulls and fire
Through recount and WoL
Till we find our place
On the path to phat loot
In the Circle
The Circle of the Huntard.”

That’s right bisches. I’m back on my Hunter.

I’d been waffling on exactly what I was going to do and I think I’ve finally landed on it.

I am going to go out the same way I started; Guns blazing on my Hunter.

When I started WoW I was the great rare slow ponderous beast known as the Tauren Hunter. Everyone and their mother was Beastmaster at the time and swinging from the Big Red Titty of the Big Red Kitty and I decided that I’d try out that Marksmanship spec. I did the guild thang, then realized we needed the tank thang and rolled the pally thang. So my first born Horde baby boy Hunter stalled out when we was only 50-some levels old.

Two years later, I find myself half out the door sneeking away from my two year one-night stand with WoW and I’ve decided I want to go out on my Hunter. I’ll still play my Paladin, but I’ve already left a note on my guild forums for my GM that I’d like to switch mains.

So here I am a recently race changed and renamed Orc Hunter. Level 80, still wearing some Naxx 25 gear, leather boots, so newly specced Survival that the paint is still drying.

BHOOM-BHOOM (That’s my explosive shot sound)

I’m tired of Marksman and always being out of mana, I’ve never liked Beast Master since your pet did all the heavy lifting and well, it just plain sucks right now. I’ve been using Surv in PvP for the past week and am starting to get a feel for it. There’s nothing as cool as seeing huge splosions erupting on your victims. Well that and Entrapment is uber.

I’m tired of wondering, I’m tired of thinking. I am going to join the ranks of the thousands of other smacktards.

I am DPS. I stand in the fire whilst scrolling through recount.

When I log in I’m gonna get my PvP all over the toliet seat, beg a tank to queue with me for Heroics, and pose on my rare mount at the Dalaran Well (I need a rare mount first), and blame lag for me sucking.

You can tell we’re nearing the end of the Wrath cycle by the mass exodus from the paladin class. Things won’t really be back to how they were before, though, until Cata comes out and I invent the ret shockadin spec.
